Yep, they're fantastic, exactly the ones I recommended. Look great too. Bit of extra height and less reach and you should be in back nirvanaThanks for all the replies - retrobike back pain experts, who would have thought it!
I think I’ll try a different stem first . Shame to lose the fluro original but im prioritising comfort over aesthetics… Maybe something like this…

What do you use to pry a gap to squirt it in? On other grips this method has been sucxessful but ESI chunkys has defeated me every time. I don't buy them anymore because of it.If airs not available, then a big old squirt of wd40, then wiggle them around till its over the entire inside.
Slip them off.
Wash with fairy to get the wd40 out.
Put back on with alcohol.
2.5/3mm ball ended allen key gives the best chance of not splitting, air compressor is best though. I've given up with ESI's myself.What do you use to pry a gap to squirt it in?

Duly noted should I ever purchase another pair. They're super comfy but have never given me nothing but stress and despair after a year or so, when I want to change bars.2.5/3mm ball ended allen key gives the best chance of not splitting, air compressor is best though.

I prefer lock on too. Much much better for someone who swaps bars like I had a gun to my head.I use lock on grips now, I'm going to hell.
